MissyP89 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 So, I need shorts. But I'm having a hell of a time finding anything longer than 3 inch ridiculousness. Gap and Old Navy have some decent finds, but they're insane if they expect me to pay $38 for a pair of modest shorts. I prefer to shop in person so I can try stuff on. I'm 4'11" and about 100 pounds, so while juniors is the right place for me, everything is way too short. I [i]hate[/i] this. Can anybody help me out?

As an alternative, wear boy's shorts? Those always seem much too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianthephysicist Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Contrary to popular belief, there is some clothing at thrift shops that's not frumpy. Granted it's usually something like a 6 frumpy to 1 regular ratio and it's usually not in the size you're looking for, but if you're persistent, it honestly can be done. I'm pretty sure about 60~70% of my clothes are from thrift stores with another 10~20% free stuff (mainly free t-shirts) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xTrishaxLynnx Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Eddie Bauer has some nice shorts that are not ridiculously short, and they're $20 a pair.

Papist Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Try a camping/outdoor store such as REI ot Dick's Sporting Goods. Hiking shorts typically come long including the juniors. There are at REI.com [img]http://media.rei.com/media/ff/5104643f-f63e-4a7f-a687-ce2e0735a7c2.jpg[/img]$28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixpence Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I wear boy shorts pretty often.... SOOOOO comfy. My convertible hiking pants/shorts are also the guys version...the ladies' version from that store did NOT fit me right LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 1. I'm jealous of your juniorness I haven't been a junior since I was about 15. 2.

Not recommended. Who would think white, thin, itty bitty shorts are a good idea?

MissScripture Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Pretty much all of the shorts I have ever bought myself are from Kohl's. They seem decent quality (I've had some for 5 years now...wow, I feel old. I did NOT realize it had been that long!). Otherwise, TJ Maxx is a good place to try. You never know what you might find there, and it's usually good quality stuff for not so much money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
